Quick Guide Review of the Book and Notes

Book Title: Dark Tarot

Author: Christine Feehan

Narrator/ Available in audio: Jim Frangione

Part of a Series: Book #31 of the Dark series about the Carpathians

Genre: Paranormal Romance, Vampire Romance

Cover Art: I like this cover. The read wash, the tarot cards floating. The actual hardcover of the book itself is gorgeous though. Each chapter starts with a tarot card from a deck that Christine Feehan had designed specifically for the book. Super cool.

Synopsis: Sandu Berdardi continues to exist only to protect his people. An ancient Carpathian, his entire long life has been dedicated to honor above all else. He knows his time has passed, especially since he has not been able to find his lifemate — the anchor to keep him sane in a world he no longer understands. But just as he truly starts to give up hope, a voice reaches out to him in the night and his world explodes into color.

Adalasia enters Sandu's mind seamlessly, as if she has been a part of him forever. While she can see the shape of things to come in her deck of cards, her gift is both a blessing and a curse. The true course of Sandu's quest remains unclear, with danger waiting at every turn. She cannot see everything the future holds, but she does know it is a journey they will take together.

Favorite Line in the Book

Bridget:

“Sandu was well aware love started in one's mind. It stayed there. Good times, bad times, if you wanted that love to remain alive, you had to keep it forever safe in the mind.”

Favorite Review 

Bridget:

Tina Christopher rated it 3 stars liked it

Shelves: paranormal

An interesting start to a new arch in the Dark series. I enjoyed the addition of demons and the fact that there is a whole group of women who've held down the fort for years, but I couldn't quite connect to the characters in this round. I know I'll read it again and am hopeful I'll enjoy it more the second time.
